24k Gold Kintsugi Matcha Bowl (Raku-ware)

$345.00

This unique raku matcha bowl has been thoughtfully restored using the traditional Japanese art of kintsugi. Repaired with care and precision, the process not only mends the bowl but highlights its natural beauty, emphasizing the distinctive cracks and imperfections that tell its story. Accented with genuine 24k gold, this piece becomes a striking and memorable work of art.

Featuring authentic kintsugi craftsmanship and radiant gold detailing, this raku matcha bowl is a true one-of-a-kind treasure—ideal for those who value handmade pottery and wish to add a touch of elegance and history to their tea ritual.

The repair has been carried out with exceptional care, patience, and precision. I use only traditional kintsugi techniques (no epoxy and mica powder); natural urushi lacquers are cured in a muro box and 24k gold for food vessels, both of which are food safe. I also use genuine silver, copper and brass (as well as gold) for repairs not being used for food or drink. All vessels in my shop (matcha bowl, tea cup/pot, Ikebana/vase, mugs, tumblers etc.) have been tested for water fastness.
